- Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com has a great article on John Farrell and his familiarity with the tough American League East
- Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun also has an article on John Farrell, where he talks to Tom Holliday, father of Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday, who has known Farrell for many years
- Richard Griffin of the Toronto Star has an interesting article concerning Alex Anthopoulos’ trade strategies
- Speaking of Griffin, his latest mailbag entry is worth a read, where he answers questions submitted by Jays fans on a variety of topics

- Minor League Baseball looks at the Blue Jays’ organizational All-Stars like Kyle Drabek and J.P. Arencibia, but there are a few that are no longer with the team!

- On an entertaining note, 46-year-old former Blue Jay Jose Canseco is trying to make a comeback to the Majors, and Mop Up Duty has a look at it
